HAND IN HAND, WE CAN MAKE IT

SUCCESS STORIES

ALEXANDER

Alexander is an outstanding 4 year old boy. We (his parents) came to Apyre by the recommendation of a good friend when Alex was 2 years old. We were looking for professional advice because Alex talked very little. We were first time parents, with no experience, and we thought that Alex only needed Speech and Language Therapy but the real problem was that we could not communicate with our son. In Apyre he was evaluated and they found out that Alex had a sensory dysfunction. With this diagnosis, we could understand that Alex had trouble managing things and situations that for us were part of our daily routine. Today, Alex attends a regular kindergarten where he plays, learns, has fun and he is starting to relate to his peers. In Apyre, we have received help to both enhance Alex´s quality of life and guide and advise us as parents to understand him, educate him and make him a confident and happy human being. We are very grateful to all the team of this great institution for the support we have received as parents but above all, for the kindness and empathy with which they have treated our son.

MOTHER

“As a mother of a child with Cerebral Palsy it is very difficult to find a school that counts with a professional team and with the appropriate physical environment for them to move around and above all, a school where you feel confident about how he will be treated and how will he feel, as he does not communicate verbally. After a long search, I found APyRE, where as soon as I had my interview and walked around of the facilities, I decided that it was the place that my son and I needed. He started going 3 times per week, he adapted very quickly because he was SO HAPPY!!! . Now he goes every week day, 2 days per week of which he stays on to receive complementary therapies. This is amazing as it means that we don’t have to go from one place to another. APyRE offers a multidisciplinary solution for his development. There is continuous communication with the family and therapists all of us working together to enhance my child´s development. APyRE changed our life, my son is very happy to attend and share with his peers, and he has had so many achievements, he loves socializing, he has learned different ways to communicate, he has learned the colors, to count, to sing, to wait for his turn in a line, work with different textures, his motility is much better, etc. He has learned all this in the different classes and activities he attends. You can perceive the warmth and dedication of the specialized therapists, I really thank you for everything you do to the children, they have fun and they learn in a way they feel respected and loved by Apyre´s team as well as by his friends. He loves the festivals, birthday celebrations and all extracurricular activities.”

FATHER

“Choosing APyRE was the best thing that happened to my wife and me, as we could understand our daughter´s behavior and expressions and therefore have a better-quality family life. Before the intervention in Apyre, we were not able to go anywhere with Jiovana, (restaurant, shopping center, use public transportation, etc.). Also, she was afraid of heights. Now, once the therapists in APyRE helped us with our daughter, we can go out with her for long periods of time, she can attend family reunions and be calm, she even understands us when we ask her something and has lost her panic to heights. I am grateful to APyRE not only for Jiovana´s learning abilities but also for the experience of sharing with other parents and this way not feeling so lonely. I consider the great team of C.A.N.T.A. as our family.”
